FIC introduces Tycoon TVB00 Windows 7 tablet

Like just about every other computer maker in the known universe, FIC is showing off a new tablet at Computex 2010. The new FIC system is called the Tycoon TVB00 and it looks like pretty standard fare for a Windows 7 tablet. Basically, this is what you would get if you ripped the screen off a netbook, crammed all the electronics behind the display, and threw out the keyboard.

Display: 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels

CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455

OS: Windows 7

Memory: 1GB DDR3

Storage: 1.8 inch HDD

Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1

I/O: VGA, 2 USB ports, mic and headphone jacks, 1.3MP or 2.0MP webcam

Battery: 2700mAh Polymer battery (up to 3 hours

Dimensions: 9.6″ x 6.9″ x 0.6″

Weight: 1.9 pounds

There are two things that set the Tycoon TVB00 apart from some other tablets we’ve seen. First, it will come with an optional Broadcom Crystal HD BCM70015 HD video accelerator. And second, FIC says that the tablet is capable of running Windows 7 Ultimate — although it’s not clear if that actually means it will ship with Windows 7 Ultimate. Most budget tablets are expected to ship with either Windows 7 Starter or Home Premium, although they’re perfectly capable of running higher priced versions of the operating system.

Update: Jkkmobile shot a little video of the Tycoon tablet at Computex. You can check it out after the break.
